Agree entirely with your sentiments posted at 12.05 pm emmie ! It does not do the 'locals' or the immigrants any good at all if certain areas are being swamped. i.e Hospitals, Schools etc cannot cope any more because of numbers....

Not sure why London because so many people head here, want to live in the capital, it has myriad problems i grant you, one being it's way too expensive, housing especially, but really... and they did a better take on asking people's groups than the last one that was compiled.
York is nice in the centre around the cathedral, but what about the rest...

Things are a bit different this time round. Rather than the unashamed bias and bile of the authors dictating those that made the list, Crap Towns Returns held a series of in-depth interviews around the country, took into account house prices, crime, transport and the locals, and put together a long list of 100 towns. It then asked people to vote for the worst, and they have been doing so in their thousands since August.

While I love London I certainly wouldn't want to live there as it's really a big sh|t hole!

Interesting - Coventry may be seriously ugly, but as a 21st Century city it actually works.
The traffic flows well, you can still find small businesses that supply most of what you need so you can live without being in total thrall to the megastores, it has a world class Arts Centre and it's a friendly place too.
Whereas York may have a picturesque centre, but the rest of it is a traffic choked hellhole.

i am concerned bednobs, by how many illegals, refugees, asylum seekers our borough has, and that services are overwhelmed, schools, our hospitals, and so on, that housing is now at a premium, it's very costly to buy, and
why does the capital need more people, it's got enough as it is,
its why i said it has myriad problems. It's also rather large and unwieldy, the councils don't seem to sing from the same hymn sheet, so if i moan its about the essentials, and yes it's way too crowded. I don't like to see a neighbourhood go to pot because of having hundred of recent arrivals dumped on it's doorsteps, which has happened. They may contribute in time, meanwhile the area does look like a shitehole, where it wasn't once.

ummm, not sure i understand, i don't define illegals, refugees by colour, if i did then i am sorry, but we have many hundreds of different cultures here now, different life style, religion, and that can and does cause tension,
my dislike of religion doesn't just extend to Islam, though i confess it's fanatical adherent make me want to scream, but all religion,
no one care to mention other places that were featured in the article.

"For those living in London, the impossible house prices and cost of living, the interminable transport problems, the noise and the difficulty of living cheek by jowl with the rest of the population have taken their toll. For the rest of the country, the capital seems remote and out-of-touch with the rest of the UK - driven by its own sense of superiority."
I moved to central London in September.... I can see why all of these would be issues. I'm still enjoying it though.
